Created attachment 166524 [details] Screenshot of taskbar with very large menu icon SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set KDE taskbar to be vertical (left or right side) and expand the width (mine is around 250 pixels) 2. If application menu is added, the icon takes the full width AND keeps the 1:1 aspect ratio (making it very tall) OBSERVED RESULT Very large taskbar icon (see attached image) EXPECTED RESULT In KDE 5, the icon would take the full width, but not keep the same aspect ratio (the menu "button" took the entire width, but the icon had blank space to left and right preventing it from becoming this large) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I missed the "summary" section. The problem is simply that the menu icon is too large with a wide vertical taskbar (as shown in the attached screenshot). This wasn't a problem in KDE 5, but after the update to 6, the icon is very large.
Created attachment 166534 [details] Screenshot of taskbar with correctly-sized menu icon (KDE 5) I realized my desktop is still on KDE 5, so I've attached a screenshot of what the menu icon should look like.

Un-duping as this requires a separate fix. Basically the same code change that fixed Bug 467004, but applied to Kicker.
